Let us know how you come out.
I have a desktop with twice that much RAM but somehow I thought XP
required more. If yours works, I might give XP Home a shot on my spare
desktop.
Can anybody suggest a reliable online source that supplies legitimate
XP Home OS at a reasonable price?

XP Pro runs on 384KB. I haven't installed any software yet, but the OS
certainly runs properly.
Maybe on 384MB, but no way will it run on 384kb
Oooops. I'm multitasking. Just finished with the lenovo update site. All
is well.

A Lenovo?

Harry - you dog you.

Ahh, but there's an explanation. I have a Thinkpad that predates IBM's
sale of the asset to the Chinese. Lenovo took over the Thinkpad updates
along with the name and other assets. If I want updates, Lenovo is the
place to go.

Although the LEnovo Thinkpads are quality merchandise, I wouldn't buy a
new one because of the Chinese connection.
